I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 203 Taoist Supernatural Powers!
Chen Mo's expression froze as he turned to look.

He Yuzhi was glaring at him angrily, her wrist turned 180 degrees clockwise.

"You brat, I've been keeping watch at home for three days, and I've finally caught you!"

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Chen Mo gasped, grimacing and begging for mercy.

Hearing the commotion, the servants looked up and peered in their direction. He Yuzhi, with a stern face, didn't say much and led Chen Mo toward the study.

"What has the young master done to upset the madam like this?"

"I don't know. Madam has been staying at home these past few days, and she didn't even attend the tea party hosted by Madam Li. She kept muttering things like 'unfilial son' and 'I'm ashamed to face anyone'..."

Several young maids covered their mouths and whispered among themselves.

At this moment, Chen Fu walked over and said coldly, "What are you all talking about? Want to get a beating? Go do what you're supposed to do!"

"Yes."

Everyone shuddered and scattered like birds and beasts.

Chen Fu watched the two figures leave, a hint of doubt in his expression.

He Yuzhi has always doted on Chen Mo, indulging him in everything he said, almost to the point of spoiling him. Even when Chen Mo tore up the marriage certificate, she didn't get this angry...

His intuition told him that the young master must have gotten himself into some serious trouble...

thump, thump, thump—

At that moment, there was a knock on the gate of the Chen residence.

Chen Fu stepped forward, opened the door, and saw a woman in green standing in front of it.

"You are……"

"I am the steward of the Lin family. I am here on the orders of Madam Jinyun to deliver this visiting card. Please convey my regards and I would be most grateful if you could spare the time to see me." The woman in green took out a gold-flecked letter from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

"Lin Mansion?"

Chen Fu was a little confused.

There are several prominent families with the surname Lin in the capital city, but the only one known as Lady Jinyun is that noble Qi Wan, the current Empress's cousin!

But the Chen family is clearly a descendant of the Imperial Concubine, so why would the Lin family take the initiative to send a visiting card?
……

……

The atmosphere in the study was somber.

Chen Mo stood there with his head drooping and his hands hanging down.

He Yuzhi sat in a chair with her arms crossed, and said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Chen Mo asked cautiously, "Mother, which matter are you asking about?"

"..."

He Yuzhi took a deep breath and said, "Let's start with the matter of Jinxiufang... Her Majesty told me that all those fashionable lingerie were designed by you. Is this true or false?"

Chen Mo knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded and said, "It's true."

He Yuzhi sat up straight, frowned, and said, "You're that Whip-Clad Hero?!"

"Uh, it's just a random pseudonym..."

Chen Mo looked embarrassed. He hadn't thought much about it at the time, but now that his mother was saying that name, it felt incredibly shameful. He was so embarrassed he could practically dig his toes out of his mouth.

He Yuzhi's chest heaved, her teeth clenched. "It really is you, you little rascal! You have quite the leisure and refined taste, actually studying women's clothing!"

Although she heard it from the Empress herself, she still found it hard to believe.

After all, Chen Mo was busy with official duties, handling several major cases in a row, and his cultivation level was also rising rapidly. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have had time to tinker with these things...

"It was just a small thing," Chen Mo said in a low voice.

He Yuzhi: "..."

As a loyal customer of Jinxiufang, she not only bought from them herself, but also promoted them extensively among wealthy women.

Because it is comfortable to wear and provides an excellent experience, coupled with its bold and avant-garde design, it completely subverts the traditional underwear and may even help couples' sex life...

These girlfriends privately praised it, saying that this product was even more effective than a miracle doctor, and that their men simply couldn't resist it, with both the frequency and quality of their sex lives increasing dramatically...

If those people found out that this "whip prince" was her son, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause!

"Originally, I just wanted to make a few clothes to give away, but they unexpectedly got out... I saw that the response was quite good, so I simply cooperated with the owner of Jinxiufang. I didn't expect it to have such a big impact..." Chen Mo explained.

"It's one thing if you just played around with it, but you actually dared to give it to the Empress!" He Yuzhi said in a deep voice, "It's only because the Empress is magnanimous and doesn't hold it against you, otherwise you might not be alive!"

There is an insurmountable gap between foreign officials and the royal family. Sending gifts to the Imperial Noble Consort in private is already a violation of palace regulations, let alone sending intimate items like stockings!
If this is really taken too seriously, charging someone with serious disrespect would be the least of their worries!

Chen Mo remained silent.

He not only gave her stockings, but also tube tops, bodysuits, thongs, and her boss's suit...

Moreover, besides the Empress, the Empress also had everything...

However, of course, I wouldn't dare tell my mother about this.

He Yuzhi asked, "Besides Your Majesty, who else knows about this?"

Chen Mo replied, "Zhi Xia knows."

?

He Yuzhi then remembered that she had only learned about this trendy little garment after seeing Shen Zhixia wearing it... She never expected that this girl had been keeping it from her all along!

"anything else?"

"Qingxuan knows too..."

"..."

He Yuzhi's eyebrows furrowed, and her chest heaved.

So, only I was kept in the dark?

Seeing Chen Mo's submissive demeanor, she couldn't bring herself to get angry. She took a deep breath and said, "Although this is a legitimate business, you are, after all, the Deputy Commander of the Tianlin Guard. You hold an official position, and if word gets out, it will ultimately have a negative impact..."

Chen Mo asked, "Then what does Mother say we should do?"

He Yuzhi cleared her throat and said, "It's not convenient for you to show your face in this kind of thing. In the future, when you design new clothes, give the drawings to your mother first. I'll help you check them out, and then arrange for someone to hand them over to Jinxiufang..."

←_←

They say they're overseeing the quality, but what they really want is to get the first-hand source of goods!

Chen Mo didn't expose his mother's little scheme and obediently replied, "Okay, I'll do as you say, Mother."

"That's pretty much it."

He Yuzhi nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, said, "By the way, when I entered the palace this time, Her Majesty talked to me a lot about you, and even brought up your engagement with Zhixia..."

Chen Mo was taken aback upon hearing this. "What did Your Majesty say?"

He Yuzhi said with some doubt, "It's strange, Her Majesty doesn't object to you and Zhixia being together, but she forbids the marriage between the Chen and Shen families... and she even asked me what kind of daughter-in-law I want, as if she's trying to arrange a marriage for you..."

Chen Mo: "..."

To arrange a marriage?

It might just disappear without a trace!
The Empress Dowager wrestled and slapped him, which had long exceeded the proper limits between a ruler and his subject.

If he were single, it wouldn't be so bad; at most, he would just be a gigolo. But if he were to marry, wouldn't the Empress become a lover who steals someone else's husband?

Of course, it's impossible for them to agree to a marriage between the two families!
He Yuzhi continued, "The next morning, I met the Empress again. Seeing me with the Consort, the Empress not only didn't get angry, but her attitude was surprisingly good... She said that as long as she was there, she would definitely ensure my career was stable, and that she would give me a surprise in the future... To this day, I still can't figure out what kind of surprise the Empress could give me?"

"..."

Chen Mo's throat felt a little dry.

He could already picture the scene.

The Empress and the Consort's car collided; it's likely to be a hellish scene of carnage!
I initially thought there was plenty of time to negotiate, but I never expected this day to come so soon...

"Your Majesty's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I would never betray her."

"But what about the Empress?"

In the past, Chen Mo would not have hesitated at all between the two.

But now the situation is different. By a twist of fate, his relationship with the Empress has progressed rapidly... Last night, she even took the initiative to invite him to join the group. If the Empress hadn't maintained a shred of rationality and held onto her last line, Xiao Chen would probably have already officially enrolled!

Moreover, the Empress was truly sincere towards him, and he didn't want to betray her kindness no matter what.

"Never mind, let's just take it one step at a time!"

"At worst, I'll just lay my cards on the table. So what if I die? I'm not going to let any of them go!"

"I want the Empress, and I want the Empress too! I want both, and I want both of them strong!"

Chen Mo silently made a grand vow in his heart.

However, this is just wishful thinking. Unless he can one day truly ascend to the throne, don the imperial robes, and reach the Supreme Realm in strength, there is absolutely no hope...

"Speaking of which, why does it seem like the Empress has never experienced anything like this before? Not only is she awkward and shy, but she also doesn't know anything and needs me to teach her step by step..."

"The same goes for the Imperial Concubine..."

"Could there be something wrong with the old emperor? Surely the eldest princess and the crown prince couldn't have just sprung from a rock?"

"Moreover, despite visiting the Eastern Palace so many times, I have never seen the young Crown Prince, nor have I ever heard anyone mention him..."

Chen Mo felt something was amiss.

The situation of the Yuan Dynasty royal family seems to be more complicated than imagined.

At this moment, He Yuzhi was also pondering in silence.

"The Empress and the Consort seem to be paying too much attention to Mo'er. Is it just because Mo'er is capable? Something doesn't feel right..."

"But since Your Majesty has said so much, we can only ask Zhixia to bear with it for now. It's all that brat's fault for attracting so many girls..."

He Yuzhi glared at Chen Mo and said coldly, "I'm telling you right now, you're not allowed to bring any other women home! If you dare to wrong Zhixia, I'll break your legs!"

"Besides Zhixia, Qingxuan, and those two girls from the Jiaofangsi, you probably don't have any other close female friends, right?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No, that's all..."

dong dong dong-

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Fu pushed open the door and entered.

He Yuzhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Fu presented a piece of paper and said, "Reporting to Madam, the Lin family has sent someone to deliver a visiting card."

He Yuzhi frowned and asked, "The Lin family? Which Lin family?"

Chen Fu replied, "On the outskirts of the Imperial City, on Jinglan Street, at the Right General's residence..."

? !
He Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, then picked up the note, unfolded it and looked at it. Inside were lines of elegant small regular script.

The gist of the story is that Chen Mo saved Miss Lin's life and was extremely grateful. Madam Jinyun wanted to bring her daughter to express her gratitude.

The post also mentioned that Lin Jingzhu and Chen Mo were close, a perfect match in terms of looks, social standing, and age... Clearly, their visit was more than just a simple expression of gratitude...

"When did this kid get involved with Miss Lin again?!"

He Yuzhi slammed the note on the table and said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you say there were no other girls? Then what's the deal with this Miss Lin?"

Chen Mo glanced at it, his expression slightly stiffening.

"This……"

"I won't even mention others, but now you dare to mess with the Empress's niece! If this gets back to the palace... are you out of your mind?!" He Yuzhi's face was ashen, clearly furious.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Actually, the Empress and the Consort already knew..."

?

He Yuzhi looked puzzled.

Chen Mo said, "It's not what Mother thinks. Back then, I worked on cases with Constable Lin, risking my life together. We were... cough cough, we were close friends who treated each other with sincerity."

"..." He Yuzhi rubbed her temples and said weakly, "Alright, you can go out now."

After a short while, she felt her head buzzing, and if she said a few more words, her blood pressure would probably explode.

"Oh."

Chen Mo turned and walked out of the room.

He Yuzhi stared at the visiting card and suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute..."

"The surprise Her Majesty the Empress mentioned, could it be this Miss Lin?! Could it be that she's going to bestow a marriage upon Mo'er?!"

The more He Yuzhi thought about it, the more she realized it made sense, and her expression gradually became serious.

Although the Lin family has declined, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. In terms of prestige and status in the capital, it is still above the Chen and Shen families.

If the Empress were to issue a decree, the political landscape of the court would likely be completely altered!
The Empress's disapproval of the marriage alliance between the two families was likely due to this consideration...

"When the Empress told me, 'The Chen family is in a dilemma,' what exactly was she implying?"

"Could it be that Her Highness and the Empress have reached some kind of deal, requiring the Chen family to act as mediators?"

He Yuzhi fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Chen Fu asked, "Madam, should we reply to this visiting card?"

He Yuzhi snapped out of her daze, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Since the Lin family has gone to such lengths, we should at least give them some face... Go reply to the invitation and arrange to meet today. I also want to see what this Madam Jinyun is really up to!"

"Yes."

Chen Fu acknowledged and withdrew.

The study fell silent. He Yuzhi leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

"Tian Shu Pavilion, Yue Huang Sect, Lin Family... Just how many girls is this rebellious son going to provoke?"

"He's such a worry..."

……

……

In the bedroom.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Two streams of light, one purple and one blue, swirled within the spiritual platform, radiating profound Daoist charm.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the top of this stream of light consists of two ancient seal characters, with a long trail of light trailing behind.

Although Chen Mo had never seen this kind of script before, he could tell at a glance that the purple seal script was the character "雷" (thunder), while the other cyan seal script was the character "莲" (lotus).

These were the two divine powers that the Daoist Master had given him back then:
【Xuanmen Tiangang Zhengfa - Palm Thunder】 and 【Xuanmen Tiangang Zhengfa - Azure Lotus Seed】.

"Since it can be recognized by the system, it means that there is nothing wrong with the supernatural power itself."

Chen Mo controlled his spiritual sense to touch the purple seal script.

In an instant, the seal script exploded, and streams of purple lightning shot out, accompanied by a flood of complex information entering the sea of ​​consciousness.

"The Triple Burner surges against the fire of thunder and lightning, while the Gallbladder hangs upside down, quenched by plasma."

"It is necessary to draw the toxic fire from the earth's lungs upwards, mix it with the primordial energy of the heavens, and then unleash thunder at the Laogong acupoint in the palm... This is called Palm Thunder!"

The Daoist energy surged along the meridians, faintly accompanied by howling thunderous sounds. It was then continuously compressed to form liquid thunder marrow, which eventually converged in the Laogong acupoint.

Chen Mo opened his palm, and the Big Dipper pattern appeared in the center.

With a slight movement of his mind, lightning appeared, swirling around his fingertips, changing from deep purple to crimson gold, and then to dark blue.

"Although it is a supernatural power, it has three uses: the Purple Cloud Thunder, which is used to break through evil spirits and demonic barriers; the Taiyi Thunder, which is used to suppress the spirits of magical artifacts; and the Jade Pivot Thunder, which is used to target demons..."

"It seems Ji Hongxiu didn't trick me; this is indeed the genuine Daoist Thunder Technique!"

Chen Mo manipulated the docile lightning with his fingers, constantly changing its shape. "It's a pity it can only be stored in the Laogong acupoint, otherwise I could try out the effects of the stun gun..."

He absorbed the lightning into his body and focused his attention on another inscription.

The touch of spiritual sense was not as powerful as a thunderbolt from the palm, but rather as gentle and silent as a seed, a point of green light falling into the dantian and being deeply buried like a seed.

A pure lotus grows in the heart of Tao.

This supernatural power has three realms, which can be called the "Three Transformations of the Lotus Form".

The initial stage can cleanse the body of impurities, making the body clear and transparent.

In the middle realm, one can form an immaculate Dao body, immune to all poisons.

Upon reaching the Great Perfection, one will manifest the Creation Lotus, attain a clear and pure Dao mind, and enter a transcendent state of being free from all things and self.

"It sounds pretty mysterious, but I don't know how effective it will be."

At this moment, on the golden branch within the dantian, emerald green leaves swayed, and streaks of light scattered and fell around the lotus seed.

Nourished by the vital essence, white roots gradually spread from the bottom of the lotus seed, and before long, tender green sprouts emerged.

At the same time, Chen Mo felt his mind become clear and his body and mind became incredibly transparent. With each breath, he naturally absorbed the primordial energy in the air, constantly transforming it into true essence and Dao power to replenish himself.

Under the transformation of the Mysterious Azure Dragon, his body has become nearly perfect, without any impurities.

But this only applies to martial arts practitioners.

The supernatural power [Azure Lotus Seed] can help one achieve an immaculate Dao body and greatly increase the affinity with primordial Qi... Only by combining the two can one truly achieve success in both Dao and martial arts!
"Because my physique is more compatible with Daoist cultivation, even the energy required to activate Daoist techniques has decreased."

"This is really good stuff!"

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Although I was slept with by the Daoist for a few days, at least I gained something...

He has been traveling all over the country these past few days, spending time with the Daoist Master and the Empress, without getting a proper rest.

After thoroughly understanding the two supernatural powers, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

At 9:00 AM, the sky was bright.

The group arrived at the gate of the Chen residence. Four maids carried two boxes, followed by a sedan chair made of golden nanmu wood embroidered with phoenix patterns.

"stop."

The female housekeeper at the front raised her hand in greeting.

The crowd stopped, and the sedan chair slowly landed.

"Madam, Miss, we've arrived."

The housekeeper stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, and two figures stepped down.

A woman with delicate features, wearing a royal blue brocade dress, her black hair styled in a high bun, exuded a mature charm and the dignified temperament of a well-bred lady.

The other person was a beautiful young woman, wearing a light blue dress, tall and slender, with fair skin and a flawless, exquisite face, and a dashing and heroic air about her.

It was Lin Jingzhu and Madam Jinyun.

"Mother, are we really going in? Wouldn't that be too abrupt?" Lin Jingzhu asked in a low voice, her expression somewhat worried.

Her mother had secretly sent a visiting card to the Chen family, catching her completely off guard.

Moreover, we didn't discuss this with Lord Chen beforehand. What if we anger him?
Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhu couldn't help but have second thoughts.

Madam Jinyun comforted her, saying, "After all, Chen Mo helped you exorcise the cold poison, so we should go and thank him. Besides, this isn't a formal marriage proposal, so what are you afraid of?"

"But……"

Before Lin Jingzhu could say anything more, Madam Jinyun had already pulled her up the stone steps.

Knock on the door knocker, and after a moment, the door slowly opens.

He Yuzhi, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward, clasped her hands, and curtsied, saying, "This humble servant greets Madam Jinyun."

Madam Jinyun hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "Madam Chen, you are too kind. You flatter me."

Looking at He Yuzhi's delicate and smooth skin, Madam Jinyun couldn't help but marvel and said from the bottom of her heart, "Madam Chen is truly naturally beautiful and radiant. She looks like a young woman of sixteen or seventeen."

He Yuzhi smiled and said, "Madam Jinyun, you flatter me. It's just that my son got a youth-preserving pill, which is why I look younger than my peers."

"Rejuvenation Pill?"

Madam Jinyun was stunned for a moment.

This item can make people stay young forever after taking it. It is extremely rare and precious, and can be said to be priceless. Even though she had only heard of it, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

I never expected Chen Mo to have such abilities.

No woman is immune to the desire for beauty, and Lady Jinyun is no exception.

If the two families could be united by marriage, wouldn't I, as the mother-in-law, also be able to enjoy a piece of it...? Thinking of this, my heart grew even more eager.

"We have come here to thank my virtuous son for saving my life. He not only saved my daughter's life from the demons, but also helped her get rid of the cold poison that had plagued her for many years." Madam Jinyun waved her hand and said, "Bring everything in."

"Yes."

The maids carried the box into the courtyard.

Through the gaps in the lid, one could vaguely see the glittering jewels, clearly indicating that they were all valuable and precious items.

He Yuzhi frowned and said, "Madam is too kind. How can I possibly accept such a thing?"

Madam Jinyun shook her head and said, "Compared to my daughter's life, these worldly things are nothing; they are merely a token of my appreciation."

"Is this your daughter?"

He Yuzhi looked at Lin Jingzhu beside her.

Lin Jingzhu bowed and said softly, "This junior greets Madam Chen."

A hint of amazement flashed in He Yuzhi's eyes.

What a pretty girl!
Although Chen Mo is a frivolous and womanizing boy, it must be admitted that every girl he gets involved with is a stunning beauty!

Madam Jinyun looked around and asked, "Is Young Master Chen not here today?"

He Yuzhi said, "That kid just came back from handling a case out of town and is resting in his room right now. I'll call him over..."

"No need."

Madam Jinyun said, "He must be exhausted from his journey, so let's not trouble him... Zhu'er, go and visit Young Master Chen. Your mother and Madam Chen will have a good chat."

He Yuzhi knew that Madam Jinyun had something to say and wanted to get rid of the person, so she instructed, "Meng'er, take Miss Lin to the east wing."

"Yes."

A maidservant gestured and said, "Miss Lin, this way please."

Lin Jingzhu bowed respectfully and left with the maid.

He Yuzhi looked at Madam Jinyun and said with a smile, "Please come in, Madam."

"Sorry for bothering you."

The two walked toward the hall.

……

……

In the bedroom.

Chen Mo was half asleep when he vaguely sensed something.

"Ok?"

I opened my blurry eyes, looked up, and was immediately stunned.

Shen Zhixia was lying on the quilt, her rosy cheeks puffed out, her bright black and white eyes looking at him.

"Uuuuu~"

"..."
